To insert a microSD card remove the battery - next to the SIM is a metal cage - slide that cage towards the top of the phone. then you can lift the cage up put the SD card under it, swing the cage down then slide the cage toward the bottom of the phone to lock it on. replace the battery, etc.

I have done this but my phone does not seem to recognize that it has another 4GB of storage.

HELP

Tracfone had a motorola slider that was picky about the brand of card that would work, didn`t like off brands I think. Wait for other suggestions first before buying another brand card.

@rich in STL

Are you quoting these instructions from some Tracfone manual/tutorial or are you just giving instructions on how to insert a microSD card?

I know how to insert a micro card. My point is that TRACFONE SPECS AND DOCS DO NOT REFERENCE A MICROSD CARD.

Gee, that's terrible.. I read on some review sites that the 800g would take upto 8gb micro sdhc cards...
Now I'm not sure it's such a great deal. Way to cripple the deivces. Perahps not enough is known about which cards will be compatible @ 8gb?
Anyhow, I was thinking I might upgrade to the 500g anyway (from Mot376g). This seems like a better deal for what you get. Also the Motorola Ex124g has WIFI?!? Say what? Tracfone will have a wifi phone?!? You know the next logical progression of that... will you be able to google voice on it?!? That would be AWESOME, and the best of both worlds.... Part of the reason WHY I bought an Archos 43 android tablet. There are probably more drawbacks to the LG 500 / 800 g's that people haven't discovered just yet. Also, are the two main differences the interface (touch vs keyboard) and talk-time / battery life? Not enough people are witing about their experience once getting the 800 & 500 phones to know if they're worth upgrading just yet.. if you have them PLEASE POST the good, the bad & the ugly. For me to even consider buying either of these, they *MUST* handle(read/write/format) an 8gb micro sd card.. can someone clarify if that's possible. Anyhow I can wait until about the middle of June to make a decision on this so please post your comments on the quality of the phones.

Net10 should offer an android (v2.2) wifi b/g/n 3.2" touchscreen phone already. I doubt many customers paying 10 cents per minute (and a HIGHER total monthly cost on average vs trac) would want anything less. This is becasue they have a choice of providers who sell service at that price (Sprint, then MetroPCS being the most obvious).

All reports say 4 gig. But you can try an 8 gig in it and see. Some phones will recognize larger cards. They may or may not use all the extra space above what they are set to use, or they may not use the card at all, even if they see it.

I just got the LG800G a few days ago. It will take a few pictures without the card. I took one of my kitchen tile LOL and it held it without a SD card in.
If you change the theme from cartoon to black it looks much nicer, and though the 800G is only a feature phone and not a smart phone (so don't expect great things from it) it is still a very nice touch phone for 49.99.

Curiosity got me, I don't need the phone, but I really wanted to see the first touch phone from TracFone. I like it, I knew it would be seriously lacking compared to an IPhone, Android, Black Berry or any true Smart Phone so I was not disappointed in the somewhat limited features of the phone.
